The protagonist of the first six books, and a major character in all later books. Currently the Leader of ThunderClan. He was originally a kittypet, but was accepted into the Clan after feeling mysteriously drawn to the forest his whole life. His name comes from his fur, which is bright orange. He originally faced prejudice due to his non-Clan heritage, but has long since proven himself a brave and highly capable warrior. Currently, his leadership decisions (in particular, letting more non-Clan cats into ThunderClan, as well as interfering in other Clans' business) are a source of controversy among the Clans. In ''The Last Hope'', {{spoiler|he is revealed as the fourth, and dies fighting Tigerstar.}}
